Although I am not a PT (personal trainer), I have a keen interest in all-things-altitude, especially with my background in veterinary…

By Sandra Bevin ? Personal Trainer, I Can Personal Training As mentioned in my previous article on flexibility in the lower back, generally if a rider experiences lower back stiffness / pain, they?ll typically overreach with the arms, putting too much weight on the hands and causing tightness across the upper back and neck.?

THE greatest mind of the generation — physicist Professor Stephen Hawking — has died at the age of 76 after a long struggle with motor neurone disease.
